After suffering an accident, choosing the right lawyer can determine whether you receive fair compensation or miss the opportunity to assert your rights. In a city like New York, where insurance companies act aggressively, having a lawyer specialized in personal injury is essential.
At Proner & Proner, we’ve helped thousands of clients obtain justice. Below, we share the most important factors for choosing the best attorney for your case

Choose a Lawyer with Experience in Personal Injury
Not all lawyers are qualified to handle complex accident cases. Make sure the attorney or firm has specific experience in:
- Car accidents
- Workplace injuries
- Slip and fall incidents on private property
- Motorcycle or bicycle accidents
A generalist attorney may lack the technical knowledge and strategy needed to maximize your compensation. On the other hand, a specialist knows the procedures, deadlines, and necessary tactics.
Check their results in similar places
Ask for concrete proof of their experience:
- How many similar cases have they handled?
- How much have they recovered for their clients?
- Do they have trial experience, or do they only negotiate settlements?
At Proner & Proner, we’ve recovered millions of dollars in compensation for accident victims in New York
With 30 years of experience winning top settlements, we know how to deal with insurance companies and the legal system. You’re in the best hands with us.
Prioritize Clear Communication in Your Language
Your lawyer should be able to explain your case in simple, understandable terms. If you speak Spanish, look for a firm that provides service entirely in your language and understands your cultural background.
Good communication strengthens the attorney-client relationship and makes the legal process much smoother.
Free consultation with no obligation
Your first contact should be free of charge. This consultation should include an honest evaluation of whether your case has legal merit and what the next steps would be.
At Proner & Proner, the initial consultation is free, and we charge no fees unless we win your case.

Attorney reputation and reviews
Do some online research:
- Check Google reviews and social media
- Look for client recommendations
- Review their presence in the media or legal associations
A firm with a strong reputation usually reflects professionalism, experience, and commitment.
We return our clients’ phone calls. We are available 24/7, 365 days a year. I give out my personal cell phone number to all my clients, and I tell them they can feel free to contact me at any time. That’s what makes us different.
Contingency fees (no win, no fee)
Make sure the attorney works on a contingency fee basis. They will only charge you if they win your case, aligning their interests with yours.
This fee model is common in personal injury cases and shows that the lawyer believes in the strength of your claim
about Accident Lawyers
Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency; they only get paid if they win your case.
Not always. Many cases are settled, but your lawyer should be prepared to go to trial if necessary.
